    This is amazing, such a delicious flavour. I didn't have shallots so used two medium onions and used gravy beef, was so tender. This will be going into my favourites, thank you for sharing this tasty recipe.

    This dish was so easy and so delicious. I cut my beef into bite-size pieces and and I added carrot, potato and zucchini when I added the wine, vinegar, flour etc. I think the red wine and the red wine vinegar gave it a unique taste so as I said I really enjoyed this dish

    Fabulous flavour.  I substituted shallots with red onions as that is what was at hand.  Very tasty for the whole family.

    Submitted by Shake on 1. June 2015 - 06:36.

    Did not work for me. The beef was very chewy, not an authentic taste, very thick sauce that needed watering down and bits of cinnamon stick were not very nice.

    I made this and reduced the wine to 200grams, but should have left it at 400, as it dried out a lot.

    Submitted by Savitar on 29. September 2013 - 23:14.

    I made this last night.  I found that you need to cut up the shallots as they did not really move around in the bowl as they just got stuck in the same position.   Once it did that, they cooked away nicely.

     

    The recipie also does not say how small to cut the beef, I did around 1cm cubes but next time would go bigger.

     

    The flavour of this was great.  There was too much cinnamon flavour for our liking so will halve the quantity next time.   The 400G of wine was great, I would not use less.

     

    After the hour, most of the cubes of meat and the shallots had disintergrated so it was certainly cooked tender but I hope next time it stays together better to leave a few chunks of meat / shallots.

     

    We loved this though, very simple and tasty dinner!!

  • Hi there. Have just made this

    Submitted by Lucas777 on 31. May 2013 - 18:17.

    Hi there. Have just made this and the flavour seems very intense... Is it really 400g of red wine... Not 40g?? Thanks for your help. Was easy to do, I maybe just need to tweak it for our taste buds tmrc_emoticons.)

    I made a double batch of this for a dinner party the other night and it was fabulous! Great recipe, kid friendly and tastes even better the next day, not that we had a lot of leftovers! Will have as a regular now,especially over winter.
